HIS Radeon HD 6770 ICEQ Turbo Crossfire

When it was released, the Radeon HD 5770 was immensely popular for the money. A decent shader processor count versus good features versus an acceptable price. That made it a 125EUR card offering a decent gaming experience.

AMD decided to respin and rebrand some of its graphics card, and that entails a re-launch of the existing Juniper XT (Radeon HD 5770 series) as the Radeon HD 6770 series.

So the Radeon HD 6770 we test today is pretty much the very same stuff released back in October 2009. A few tweaks here and there have been made at BIOS level and priced have gone down a little as the card shown today from HIS for example will cost you a 100 EUR, For that kid of money you receive a customized model that has been factory-overclocked for you and heck it even comes with a free copy of Colin McRae Dirt 3 -- not a bad deal.

So yeah we look at the HIS Radeon HD 6770 ICEQ TURBO edition. A fairly interesting product series as that juniper graphics core still can flex its muscle. What we found more interesting though is to see what happens if you place two of these cards in Crossfire mode. Can 200 EUR worth of cards beat a 300 EUR costing Radeon HD 6970? That's the primary question we will try and answer today as sometimes it just makes more sense to go with two GPUs.

Have a peek at the all new Radeon HD 6770 ICEQ Turbo model from HIS and then lets head onwards into the review.

HIS Radeon HD 7850 4GB iPower IceQ Turbo review
We test and review the a HIS Radeon HD 7850 iPower IceQ Turbo as single card and in Crossfire today. The HIS Radeon HD 7850 iPower IceQ Turbo is a factory overclocked 4GB version of the Radeon HD 7850 graphics card.

HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo edition review
We review the HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo edition. With this card they took the new Tahiti XT2 and redesigned the R7970 board from ground up. though very long the end result is a 31cm PCB with mane power phases and optimizations. Fun to see are the voltage and FAN monitor LED options. Most impressive however is the sheer amount of monitor connectors HIS injected into this product, four DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI and a DVI connector. If needed you can go for Eyefinity6. Oh did I mention already that the factory set boost clock frequency is 1180 Mhz ?

HIS Radeon HD 7950 ICEQ Turbo review
We review the HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQX Turbo. The product comes factory overclocked very nicely for you as it is running a gentle 900 MHz clock frequency. HIS uses a custom PCB and dual-slot cooler making the card very easy to install. Despite that factory overclock and that cooler the noise levels remain at very low levels whereas the GPU temperatures remain downright excellent as we'll show you in this review.
